## Summary

The procurement process titled "Urban Connected Communities - Development and Support Services" has been completed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, based in London, England. This project falls within the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" and was part of the 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme. The procurement method was a direct single tender action, involving a contract value of £91,750, with the contract period spanning from 15th June 2018 to 31st August 2018. The tender period ended on 13th June 2018.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses focused on digital services and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in supporting local authorities in deploying 5G capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in developmental support and community engagement would be well-suited to engage in similar future tenders, potentially contributing to enhanced digital infrastructure and services that promote economic growth in urban areas.

## Notice

The Urban Connected Communities project forms a strategic part of the 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme, aiming to develop new and aggregated demand for 5G services from Urban Local Authorities, and the ability for them to create economic growth and better orchestrated public services through improved digital connectivity. The purpose of this service is the creation of a 'template' to support this major project. Our aim from developing an Urban Connected Communities Template is to create a set of reusable materials that will form a starting point for Local Authorities to prepare for and initiate the delivery of the initial DCMS-led Urban Connected Communities project in which they will take the lead delivery role. Once validated within the initial project, the output Template will be used by many other Local Authorities to validate their readiness for 5G deployment, and to inform further development work required to access the benefits of 5G.
